I miss the old syslog behaviour with the "sleeping / awakened at" messages. The only possibility to regain these messages is to add option --verbose, but this logs too much into syslog (for me about 50 lines instead of the expected 2). I know that this behaviour change is a intended one [1]/[2], and I don't care about the change of the *default* behaviour, but I would really love a possibility to keep the old behaviour that I'm used to and that I consider reasonable. (And the comment in [3] <<besides, the "correct" behavior is disputed by fetchmail users>> indicates that I might be not alone.) BTW, I would prefer a configuration possibility in fetchmailrc (for setting - --verbose I had to edit /etc/default/fetchmail).
